An injury has knocked a second Villefort off this month’s Strikeforce Challengers 16 event.

A day after MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported injuries forced the cancellation of a Danillo Villefort vs. Antwain Britt main-card bout, injured preliminary-card fighter Yuri Villefort (6-0 MMA, 0-0 SF) also has been forced off the June 24 card.

Strikeforce Challengers 16 takes place at ShoWare Center in Kent, Wash., and the night’s main card airs on Showtime.

Villefort recently underwent knee surgery because of the injury.

LaFlare, a Ring of Combat welterweight champion, is a native New Yorker who’s 6-0 with six stoppage victories (four knockouts and two submissions). The former collegiate wrestler and lacrosse player fights outside of Ring of Combat for the first time in his three-year career.

Bush, meanwhile, fights out of Lyle Beerbohm’s Fancy Pants Fight Team. The Washington native has fought professionally since March 2006 and registered three bouts under the SportFight banner. He most recently fought in August 2010, when he earned a decision win over John Heath for his third win in four fights.
